#And this isn't stealing a trait from Wyll

[justabiteofspite]

"Astarion doesn't do big romantic gestures."

My Durge still trying to get graveyard dirt out of her ass crack after being lovingly pounded into it by Astarion who wanted to share with her this deeply joyful and meaningful reclamation of himself after sharing a vulnerable declaration of his love, at this place he hasn't shown anyone else but her: "Then what the actual fuck was that???"

"AsTaRiOn HaTeS cHiLdReN hE wOuLd NeVeR WaNt Be A dAd! He ApPrOveS oF tElLiNg YeNnA tO gEt LoSt!"

Let's get this straight because I have seen people use Astarion approving of telling Yenna to get lost as proof of him hating kids. It is not.

Okay so yes Astarion does approve of telling Yenna to bugger off.

But he also fucking approves of giving her food or money.

(Durge is grabbing something out of her pack btw)

If anything this kinda shows how the player has influence on Astarion. Astarion has had no autonomy for the past 200 years. He literally says in his good romanced ending that he has to find out who he is and what he wants. There really is no way to tell if he wants to be a dad or not in game because there is no option to bring up the prospect of having children with him. But I still personally feel like if Tav wants kids he'll warm up to the idea.

Also after taking Yenna in he becomes protective of her, albeit in a somewhat tsundere way. Pretty on brand for him I suppose.

So shut up about Astarion hating kids or how it's stealing traits from Wyll and Shadowheart, it isn't.
